Electric 3-Wheelers With Smart Battery Swapping

When we talk about electric vehicles here on CleanTechnica, we’re often referring to electric cars and electric bikes — or sometimes electric trucks, buses, and planes. But what about electric three-wheelers? There are a lot of tuk-tuks out there, and maybe an EV revolution is brewing in this multi-million-vehicle market? A recent podcast interview with […]

4 Things To Look For When You Watch The Oppenheimer Film

Tesla shares jumped 6.9% this week and were part of a momentum that surged the all-electric car maker's trends ahead of other EV stocks, such as Rivian, Fisker, and Lucid. The upswing is a reflection of the company's impressive 83% year-over-year growth in deliveries during the second quarter.

4000 Scenarios For A Climate Turnaround

Using an extensive computer simulation of the climate, the global economy and the global energy system, researchers at PSI have been analyzing different ways of mitigating climate change, together with colleagues from the US, China, Ireland, Finland, and Sweden.

An Ingredient In Toothpaste May Make Electric Cars Go Farther

Argonne scientists have developed a new electrolyte for lithium metal batteries to power electric vehicles. They would greatly increase vehicle range, cost less than current designs and run more safely, since the electrolyte is nonflammable. An ingredient in many toothpastes is sodium fluoride, a compound of fluorine. It is added to protect teeth against decay. […]
